Leader Award 2009 Nominated by J-F Burford and Rob Sheldon
Aston Ventour
Aston Ventour started coaching at KPR in 2006/2007. He had been at the Staines Football Academy as a player and was in his final year at Kingston College, where he passed his NVQ level 2 coaching Badge.
As a young 18 year old player Aston came to the club with no real coaching experience. He took over coaching a group of young players who felt deflated, disillusioned and frustrated at losing every week.
With his knowledge and love of the game, Aston quickly installed a new sense of fun, enthusiasm and a long lost sense of self belief back to the boys. They were now enjoying themselves again and even though they were not picking up many points from playing matches, they were picking up valuable coaching and life enhancing pointers from Aston during training.
The following season Aston kept coaching the same group of players and instilled a belief in them that bonded the players into a unified squad and for the first time they started to win more games then they lost.
Aston instilled a sense of not winning at all cost above learning and development of individual skills. A sense that if they played and conducted themselves in the right way, it did not matter whether they won or lost as long as they gave their best and if they did that, then no matter what the outcome of the game they would be winners.
This season the same squad of players’ have reaped the benefit from Aston’s philosophy, coaching and man management skills by finishing 3rd in their league.
His leadership skills have developed over the last 3 years with the club and Aston has grown to be a true motivator and mentor to all children inside and outside of the club. Local kids now and respect him, not only as a coach; but also as a person they can trust and call upon in a moment of need.
It is for all of these reasons and more that Kew Park Rangers Football Club nominate Aston Ventour for a Jack Petchey Leader Award.

Basil Al-Anil Nominated by Tim Pitt
Basil never moans or argues whether at training or during a game. He just gets on with being a highly reliable player. This means that sometimes when the praise is being handed out he is overlooked and his name does not come up. Would be surprised to receive this award which is why it makes it even more powerful.

Connor Prince Nominated by J-F Burford
Connor believes that he is responsible for the performance of the whole team. He puts un-needed pressure on himself to perform at the highest level at all times, which means that he sometimes he does not recognise he owns self worth as a young person and not just a player.

I would like to nominate Ewan Sheldon for a number of reasons with this being triggered by him attaining 1oo goals for the club this week.

Jacob Klasse Nominated by Rob Sheldon
Jacob has been injured for much of the season and developed with his father a way of recording all the key incidents during each match. This is a very detailed and complex report sheet. He turned up every week during his injury – home and away – to help record everything that took place and to support his team-mates. This was incredibly spirited of him as it was a very long, wet, cold winter. He then turns the information into a match report each week for all the players which they really look forward to. It has been a very good way of enhancing team spirit and everyone looks for their name in print. Once Jacob and his father have finished testing out their reporting system on the under 16 Rangers, it is very likely that the club will introduce it across the club as a whole.

U12 player Toby receives February 09 Jack Petchey award
Toby has been with us since reception, when he arrived he was tall, thin, quiet and shy.
Over the years he has been training and playing with us he has developed in many ways.
He is still tall and thin, still quiet but a lot less shy, on the pitch he is moving on from a formidable left defender to an extremely able midfielder with a fabulous turn of speed.
His abilities and skill make a very adaptable player and he will play anywhere effectively.
But the most pleasing part of his maturing attitude is his ability to take responsibility. He has captained the U12s on numerous occasions, and is always the first to volunteer especially if the opposition looks tough.
His good nature and intelligent approach to training and playing make him a real pleasure to coach, but this doesn’t detract from his fierce determination and energy on the pitch, which has inspired and lifted the rest of the team on many occasions.

His enthusiasm and dedication is the model for all our players. He is always on time, always pays attention, works hard and well and is always looking to improve his skills. He trains on Saturdays, plays on Sundays, and even turns out for the U12 Friday night 5-a-side league team!

Alex Bukaka receives the Jack Petchey award for December 2008 from U16 Colts Manager Tim Pitt
Alex, AKA Koli to his friends and team, is a tall and powerful man, but that power as a player hides a person who is kind, respectful and full of fun. On the pitch Koli is a leader, a leader who is calm, who gives his all for 90 minutes. During training, Koli is attentive and listens to his coaches, always trying to improve his knowledge and develop his skills and all round game. He always arrives with a smile and always leaves with a smile on his face, no matter how wet, cold or hard the training session has been. Koli is a true gentle giant of a man, who deserves much respect and gets it back. Koli will achieve much in his life and deserves great success
